How to Understand Staffs in Sheet Music

Hi! I’m Will and today I’ll be teaching you all about how to read sheet music. The first thing you’re going to want to know is what staff is and a staff is kind of like a black board and that you can write whatever you want on it. If you look at any piece of sheet music you’re going to see these five lines you might see just the five lines written here, you might see another set of five lines written under it, depending on what kind of music it is. But everything all the notes all the time and everything you’re going to need will be written somewhere on these black lines.
